It says
"""Don't forget to download tags from time to time.
git pull only downloads sha1-indexed object data, and the requested
remote head. This misses updates to the .git/refs/tags/ and
.git/refs/heads/ directories. For tags, run git fetch --tags $URL."""
But when I do git pull on a simple tracking tree (e.g. git-clone
torvalds/linux-2.6.git; git pull;) it automatically grabs new tags.
A while ago the default behavior of git pull was changed to fetch all
tags which point to objects that can be reached from any of the tracked
heads.
This does not work in all cases. When I retrieve the latest kernel, it
downloads the tags:
cd /spare/repo/linux-2.6
git pull
but when I pull those changes into another local repo, the tags do -not-
follow the objects:
cd /spare/repo/misc-2.6
git checkout master
git pull ../linux-2.6
git fetch --tags ../linux-2.6 # still required to this day
